West Indies fast-bowler, Kemar Roach, has not been selected for West Indies' upcoming Test series against Australia.
Instead, John Campbell returns to the squad, bolstering the options at the top of the order. After a prolific domestic season inclusive of three centuries, backing up a strong showing in the 2023-2024 season, Kevlon Anderson earns a maiden call up; while on the back of his recent ODI form, Keacy Carty earns a recall to the squad, with ODI Vice-captain Brandon King securing a first-time inclusion. In conjunction with the return of limited overs captain Shai Hope, these selections are intended to fortify a battling line-up that is expected to sustain pressure on the opposing attack.
Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph, and Shamar Joseph headline the fast-bowling attack. Additionally, Johann Layne, a 21-year-old product of the West Indies Academy, who claimed 63 first-class wickets in 17 matches, along with Anderson Phillip, who recently captured a 5-wicket haul for West Indies A against South Africa A, have being called up to provide reinforcement. Spin responsibilities will be handled by Captain, Roston Chase and Vice-Captain, Jomel Warrican.
